RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) remain a challenging diagnosis due to their nonspecific clinical presentation and the limitations of current imaging techniques. Conventional imaging of this pathology frequently reli…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility, interobserver reproducibility, reporting efficiency, and perceived clinical impact of the Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) when implemented as part of structured MRI reporting in routine clinical …

BACKGROUND: The SRU consensus on pelvic ultrasound proposed standardized augmented ultrasound, but its validity and indirect signs' role require validation. This study will explore the application value of this consensus in deep endometrios…

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Adenomyosis significantly impairs quality of life, yet optimal uterine-sparing management remains uncertain. While both uterine artery embolization (UAE) and dienogest show promise, no direct comparison exists. Thi…

There is a growing need to develop new MRI sequences to identify and characterize hemorrhagic foci within endometriosis lesions. These foci are pivotal, as they represent a significant component of the disease's pathophysiology and have bee…

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential non-invasive technique for diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Published studies have explored the value of high-resolution fat-suppressed 3D T1-weighted (T1w) and 3D T2-weighte…

Lesions at the liver periphery may originate from intrahepatic or extrahepatic tissues due to the unique anatomical, peritoneal, and hemodynamic characteristics of the hepatic capsular and subcapsular regions. In this article, the anatomica…

PURPOSE: To examine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) of the uterine corpus. METHOD: MRI features of 19 patients with pathologically proven MLA of the uterine corpus were retrospectively com…

PURPOSE: To identify factors related to technical outcomes of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) and suggest selection criteria for CDS in patients with ovarian endometrioma. METHOD: This retrospective study included patients with endom…

The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) and International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group, the European Endometriosis League (EEL), the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), the …

OBJECTIVE: To compare computed tomography-enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance-enterography (MRE) in the detection of right-sided bowel deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty women with DIE who underwent p…

PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of a periprocedural decision on the administration of intravenous contrast media in MRI for endometriosis and to evaluate the frequency and reasons of contrast administrations, the corresponding MRI diagno…

PURPOSE: Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI uses a 5-point scale to establish malignancy risk in sonographically-indeterminate adnexal masses. The management of O-RADS MRI score 4 lesions is challenging, as the prevalenc…

PURPOSE: To compare the effect of three different patient preparation strategies for reducing bowel motion on image quality in pelvic MRI. METHODS: Retrospective study in which 95 consecutive patients undergoing pelvic MRI were subdivided …

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized endometrial-like tissue present outside of the uterus, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive age women. It is associated with abdomino-pelvic pain, infertility and other n…

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict long-term outcomes of uterine artery embolisation (UAE) for treating adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed data of 221 patients with adenomyosis who underwent UA…

Large bowel obstruction (LBO) is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to delayed diagnosis and/or treatment. MDCT has become the standard of care to identify the site, severity, and etiology of obstruction. The goal of this revi…

OBJECTIVE: To identify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features associated with colorectal surgical bowel resection for treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 122 preoperative pelvic MRIs in women with …

PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the performance of CT for diagnosis of bowel endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pubmed and EMBASE were systematically searched up to March 28, 2019. Diagnostic accuracy…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in the assessment of endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective study was performed during the diagnostic step…

PURPOSE: To investigate magnetic resonance (MR) findings and to detect malignant transformation of ovarian endometriotic cysts by comparing longitudinal changes in patients with ovarian malignant/borderline tumors associated with ovarian en…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a disease of significant burden among pre-menopausal women characterised by the appearance of functional endometrial tissue in locations outside the uterus. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is an invasion of t…

OBJECTIVES: Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary shows distinct clinical characteristics depending on the stage. We aimed to investigate the imaging predictability for tumour stage in CCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-six tumours in 48 p…
